The Great Wave sent the lower class into dirigibles high above the wealthy landowners. The Gentlemen brothers lived in such an airship with their father until the night men came to steal them. Joshua is the oldest and is now a respectable detective. He never stopped searching for his brothers. Valance was Joshua's best friend, but one night of unexpected passion tore their friendship apart.​Now, Joshua must deal with Val’s decadent body, and finding out how it all ties into his missing brothers.

Matthew Rose is a telepath, an orphan, and hiding from the guardian that tormented him and made his life miserable. Unable to bear to be around other people, he hides in his soundproofed apartment, only leaving when he is desperate for food or other necessities. On one of those trips out, he "hears" a murder and then is drawn to stumble across the body, where he passes out after calling the police. When he wakes up in the hospital, he meets Adam, the policeman there to question him, and discovers that there may be more to life than he has had so far. Unfortunately, the serial killer has now also set his sights on Matt, and he will not allow anyone to get in his way. The premise of the book was fascinating - I liked the telepathic angle and even how Matt had helped the police with various cases. I also liked the "True Anchor/Soul Anchor" connection to explain Matt's instant comfort/attraction to Adam. However, it felt like there was too much going on in the story and the writing was choppy. There were too many villains and too many people instantly liking/wanting Matt. In the middle of the book, I finally became invested in the characters and guessed who the killer was, so I had to see it through to the end, but it felt like too many story lines were intertwined. I would like to see some of the loose ends wrapped up, though, and an HEA for Jared and Xavier, so if a sequel is written I would probably read it.
